Guest guest Posted May 2, 2002 Report Share Posted May 2, 2002 Broadcasting the Revolt An old song had a title " The Revolution Will Not Be Televised " . Well, that was before the internet. Today we can broadcast our revolt through the internet, and we can even call radio and TV talk shows and write letters to the editor and demonstrate for or against all sorts of things. A revolt against Bush is under way in the House and the Senate these days, for which we express our thanks and offer our encouragement. We also hope that non-office holders will get involved in protesting the Bush agenda. We are deeply troubled by the Bush Saudi arafat axis of evil against Israel. We think it is past time for arafat, the man we feel ordered the murders of Martin Luther King and Robert F. Kennedy, BushBusters/message/3418 US Diplomats, and other American citizens, as well as more Jews than anyone since Hitler and arafat's uncle, Hitler's mufti, to be brought to justice by the appropriate government(s). We feel that the only American official who should meet arafat should be the American official who puts the handcuffs on arafat and takes him into custody for what we hope will be a speedy trial, with an appropriate sentence for the mass murderer of Israeli Olympic competitors in Munich and kindergarten children at Maalot. Nor has arafat changed a bit since he ordered the Maalot kindergarten and Munich Olympic massacres. Danielle Shefi , was 5 years old she was murdered by arafat's genocidal thugs on Saturday, the Jewish Sabbath, April 27th, 2002. " In Adora, the gunmen left behind blood-soaked bedding, shattered windows and a Mickey Mouse pillowcase pierced with a ragged bullet hole. The pillow was on the bed where Danielle Shefi, 5, was lying when she was killed. " In the same genocidal attack " Natan Greenberg, 14, was shot and wounded in his bed downstairs, and his mother, Katya, was killed in her bed upstairs. Lying beside her, her husband, Vladimir, was badly wounded. Their mattress was crimson with their blood. Across from the bed, two yellow birds sat silently in their cages, near a medallion of Lenin. *** a 36-year-old neighbor of the Greenbergs, who declined to give his name, bridled when asked if the Greenbergs were originally Russians. " Jews, " he said.

After he signed the Oslo treaty in 1993, he has presided over more than 4,000 terrorist attacks. " Jews-And-Others-Against-Bush/message/762 " Lieberman Urges Dems To Confront Bush MAY 3, 2002 http://www.forward.com/issues/2002/02.05.03/news1.html excerpted from: The Forward " Joe: Show 'Vision' On Foreign Policy By MARC PERELMAN FORWARD STAFF WASHINGTON - With midterm congressional elections looming and the shadow of September 11 receding, Senator Joseph Lieberman is calling on his fellow Democrats to challenge the Bush administration on its most popular ground: foreign policy. " It's very important for Democrats not just to distinguish ourselves from the Bush administration on domestic policy, but to prove by our interest and by our statements that we understand foreign and defense policy, " Lieberman told the Forward in an exclusive interview. " We have a set of ideas and a vision, and we [have to show] that we are prepared to act to protect America's security, both internationally and domestically. " A former vice presidential candidate and potential 2004 presidential contender, Lieberman has criticized the Bush administration *** for insisting that Israel stop its military operations in the West Bank. Lieberman has emerged as a strong champion of American action to depose Iraqi president Saddam Hussein.*** Many observers say Lieberman, a three-term Connecticut senator, enjoys a built-in edge in Democratic presidential jockeying thanks to his reputation for moral rectitude, his credentials as a national security hawk and his strong support for Israel, all of which are linked to his status as the Senate's only Orthodox Jew. " Lieberman holds a very unique territory in the party, " said Marshall Wittman, a Republican activist associated with the conservative Hudson Institute in Washington. " He has strong credentials on Israel and on Iraq. He is basically trying to revive the Scoop Jackson heritage, " a reference to the late Washington State Democrat known for his blend of a hawkish foreign policy and liberal domestic views. Lieberman has repeatedly stated that he will not run for president if 2000 standard-bearer Al Gore decides to enter the race, and is pressing for candidates to declare by the end of the year. If Gore steps aside, Lieberman said he was " strongly thinking " about running. He has already begun laying the groundwork, actively traveling, raising money and making speeches since the beginning of the year. In addition to trying to chip away at Bush's sky-high approval ratings, observers say Lieberman clearly wants to steer his party toward the hawkish positions he has defended for years. " 9/11 put national security back at the center of the political debate, " said Will Marshall, president of the Progressive Policy Institute, a think tank linked to the centrist Democratic Leadership Council, which Lieberman helped found. " That raises the threshold for Democrats willing to become president. Lieberman is well in front on this. He has emerged as a leader of the tough-minded internationalists who believes in U.S. strength as an instrument of international security. That sets him apart from the soft, multilateralist wing of the party. " *** Lieberman *** has now been criticizing the White House for insisting that Israel stop its military operations in the West Bank. " Engagement doesn't justify muddying our moral clarity by publicly pressuring the Israelis to not do exactly what we're doing in Afghanistan, " Lieberman told the Forward. " Israel is a victim of the same kind of suicidal terrorism we were victims of on September 11. " In pressing for an Israeli withdrawal, Lieberman said, the administration made a " foreign policy mistake. " " When dealing with an ally, we should have known that the demand we were making on them was impossible to comply with, " Lieberman said. " And knowing that, it makes no sense to me that we continue to make the demand publicly because when the Israelis turned it down, it hurt our credibility and it was unnecessary. " Lieberman said he *** wouldn't have asked them to withdraw - even privately.*** Lieberman *** was one of just 10 Senate Democrats to vote in favor of the 1991 Gulf War (Note : Al Gore also was brave enough to vote in favor of the Gulf War in the US Senate then.) and has been one of the most vocal advocates of a regime change in Baghdad. While he said there was " substantial evidence suggesting links between Saddam Hussein and the September 11 attacks " and " evidence of links between Iraq and the Palestinian Authority, " Lieberman argued that the main reason to intervene was Iraq's pursuit of weapons of mass destruction. " We wounded the king but we did not kill him, " he said of the first President Bush's decision not to topple Saddam in 1991. Lieberman praised the current administration for what he said seems to be the decision to mount a military strike aimed at removing the Iraqi strongman. " When and how is up to the military command and the president, " Lieberman said, " but the sooner would be the better. " Lieberman continues to advocate American support for the Iraqi National Congress, the main opposition group. " For the last decade, a school of thought within the intelligence community has been saying that we had to find a general to replace Saddam, " Lieberman said. " But we have been looking for such a general for 10 years and we haven't found him. " While in agreement with the administration over Iraq, Lieberman seemed to chart a more dovish course on the question of engaging Iran. In recent months, and especially after Israel intercepted an alleged Iranian arms shipment to the Palestinian Authority in January, American supporters of a rapprochement have been mostly silent. Still, while acknowledging that Tehran is a " significant cause of the instability " in the Middle East because of its support for terrorism, Lieberman noted that " the reality is they still hold elections there, " where reformists regularly carry 65% to 70% of the votes. " So you've got a situation very much like the Soviet Union, " he explained. " A minority that is not representative of the majority is controlling the country... and also fomenting instability throughout the region and the world. " This, he said, is why both Congress and the president have to think of ways to help the majority gain control of the government. " There must be a [Lech] Walesa or [Vaclav] Havel there who will emerge as the leader of a new Iran, " he said. " So I'd like to see us engaged any way we can. " " Congress to Express Solidarity with Israel Thu May 2, 2002 WASHINGTON (Reuters) the U.S. Congress was set on Thursday to approve resolutions expressing solidarity with Israel in its fight against " terrorism. " The U.S. House of Representatives was expected to pass a resolution on Thursday supporting Israel and condemning " ongoing support of terror by (Palestinian President) Yasser Arafat (news - web sites). " The measure sponsored by House Republican Whip Tom DeLay of Texas, and Rep. Tom Lantos, a California Democrat, was expected to win overwhelming support. The Senate is expected to take up a similar but less strongly worded resolution expressing support for Israel as a " front-line state in the war against terrorism " as early as Thursday. Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, a South Dakota Democrat, said it was important for the Senate to go on record to show its support for Israel and would vote on a resolution sponsored by Sen. Joseph Lieberman, a Connecticut Democrat. " I think the Lieberman resolution is a very appropriate way with which to state our continued allegiance and alliance with Israel and that I hope that that will happen, " Lawmakers wanted to voice support for Israel, particularly in light of the U.S. war against terror following the Sept. 11 attacks against the World Trade Center and Pentagon (news - web sites) that killed around 3,000 people. There certainly is a need for Congress to say something, " said Terry Holt, spokesman for House Majority Leader Dick Armey, a Texas Republican. http://story.news./news?tmpl=story & u=/nm/20020502/ts_nm/midea st_congress_israel_dc_2 Int'l Observers Killed in West Bank -(arafat must be running low on Jews to murder) (ever wonder what will happen when Nazi Mufti's nephew arafat runs out of Jews to murder?

The observers, serving in the Temporary International Presence in Hebron, were driving on a bypass road used mostly by Jewish settlers when their car came under fire near Halhoul, a West Bank town north of Hebron. A Norwegian official in the West Bank said the two dead were Turkish and Swiss. There was no immediate comment from the peace force. The two were the first members of the force to be killed in the West Bank. A third observer was slightly wounded, the military said. The force, made up of unarmed observers from Scandinavian and European countries, was set up under a 1997 agreement dividing Hebron into Palestinian- and Israeli-controlled zones. The city was divided because about 450 Israeli settlers live in three enclaves in the center of the city, among some 130,000 Palestinians. The observers, recognizable by their clearly marked white cars, make periodic reports about violations of the truce. Settlers charge that the observers are biased against them,*** http://story.news./news?tmpl=story & cid=540 & u=/ap/20020326/ap_ on_re_mi_ea/israel_ambush IT SEEMS TO ME that arafat did not realize that there would be any survivors of the attack on international observers to identify the perpetrator, obviously arafat hoped to blame the attack on Israel so that International ARMED observers In LARGE NUMBERS would be sent. Of course arafat himself ordered this attack, as he has so many other atrocities!

The observers, serving in the Temporary International Presence in Hebron (TIPH), were driving on a bypass road near the city, when their car came under the fire of Israeli occupation troops stationed on two Palestinian buildings, the spokesman said in a Statement. The two observers - from Turkey and Switzerland - were the first members of the force to be killed. +++ Turkish Capt. Huseyin Ozaslah describes Palestinian murder of his comrades Aaron Lerner 26 March 2002 Turkish Capt. Huseyin Ozaslah, a member of the Temporary International Presence in Hebron (TIPH) observers team attacked tonight, was interviewed on the telephone by Israel Radio on the way to the hospital in English. The following is a transcript prepared by IMRA: Ozalslah: There were three people and we were driving in an Opel Corsa. I was sitting in the back seat and one colleague was driving and one female colleague was sitting in the front seat and we were just getting out of Hebron. Then we heard some shooting towards our car. We were very fast - 90 kilometers per hour - and this Palestinian was just standing in the middle of this road. Reporter: Could you see him? Ozalslah: Yes. Yes. The lights were on and we saw him. He was in a PPF uniform, a Palestinian Police Force uniform. He was carrying a Kalashnikov and we shouted towards him that " we are from the TIPH - don't shoot at us " . We could hardly stop the car. There were only 5 or 6 meters from the man and our car. And he didn't stop. Reporter: You told him that you were from TIPH and he continued to shoot? Ozalslah: Yes. We told him that we were from TIPH and he didn't care. He kept shooting towards us. My colleagues sitting in the front seat were shot dead. The driver's blood splashed on my face and I was also injured. He finished his magazine and he didn't check if all of us were dead or not and he escaped. But I saw him. That he had a Palestinian police force uniform and was carrying a Kalashnikov and he finished his whole magazine - thirty bullets at least. He was about 30 years old.

" ARAFAT ORDERED DIPLO SLAYINGS: EX-SPY By URI DAN New York Post http://www.nypost.com/news/worldnews/7289.htm December 15, 2001 -- JERUSALEM - Yasser Arafat personally ordered the execution of two American diplomats in 1973, a former U.S. intelligence officer says. James Walsh said he knew of a tape recording in which Arafat calmly discussed an attack on the Saudi Arabian Embassy in Khartoum, Sudan. In February 1973 gunmen had burst into the embassy and seized American Ambassador Cleo Noel and his charge d'affaires, George Curtis Moore. The Black September terrorist organization took responsibility for the assault and demanded the release of Sirhan Sirhan, the imprisoned assassin of Robert F. Kennedy, and other jailed Palestinians. Walsh, then a member of the National Security Agency based in Cyprus, said his organization intercepted a conversation between Arafat and Black September in which the PLO chairman ordered the killing of the Americans and a Belgian diplomat. Walsh told the Israeli newspaper Haaretz that the conversation was never disclosed by U.S. officials because it would compromise American eavesdropping resources. Walsh said the NSA had intercepted a series of phone calls between Arafat and the Black September kidnappers. Officials in Jerusalem said the United States had been informed of the conversation through another channel. They said then-Prime Minister Golda Meir told then-President Richard Nixon that Israel had also intercepted a conversation between Arafat and kidnap leader Khalil al-Wazir, in which they discussed killing the Americans.. " Colin Powell, as Secretary of State, betrays every American diplomat who serves under him, and who has ever served by meeting with arafat, the man who ordered the murders of American diplomats. Powell owes it to the memory of the diplomats murdered at arafat's command to take arafat into custody next time he sees him and personally putting the handcuffs on arafat. My feeling is that in a world in which international observers sided with Jews there would be no need for international observers, the fact that Rockefeller money could pay for the camps for the so-called " palestinians' so that they would not be re-integrated into the countries they and their ancestors wandered into Judea, Samaria, Gaza, Israel FROM is part and parcel with the fact of Bush gangsters funding Hitler from the get go, etc. The leadership of most nations of influence is sadly allied with that gang and the oil cartels which the Bush gang is so squarely a part of itself. No matter what pretense international observers enter Israel by their real goal is the destruction of Israel. Has the US ever allowed international observers on its soil? I think not. " The 1929 Riots After a series of disturbances in 1920-1921, the yishuv continued to develop in relative peace and security. The yishuv's main concern at that time was its financial difficulties; the economic crisis of 1926-1928 led many to believe that the Zionist enterprise would fail due to lack of funds. Zionist leaders attempted to rectify the situation by expanding the Jewish Agency to incorporated non-Zionists who were willing to contribute to the practical settlement of Palestine. The prospects for renewed financial support for the yishuv alarmed Arab leaders who feared economic domination by the Zionists. Led by the Mufti Haj Amin al-Husseini, rumors of a Jewish plot to seize control of the holy places began to spread. Violence erupted soon after, causing extensive damage. Rioting and looting were rampant throughout Palestine. First in Jerusalem, the disturbances spread to Hebron and Safed, including many settlements in between. At the end of the rioting, 133 Jews were killed, with more than 300 wounded. Though fully aware of the situation, the British government took no steps to gain control of the situation. Afterwards, the British appointed Sir William Shaw to head an inquiry into the causes of the riots. " http://www.us-srael.org/jsource/History/riots29.html (arafat's uncle) " Haj Amin al-Husseini (1893-1974) Appointed Mufti of Jerusalem by the British in 1921, Haj Amin al-Husseini was the most prominent Arab figure in Palestine during the Mandatory period. Al-Husseini was born in Jerusalem in 1893, and went on to serve in the Ottoman Army during World War I. Anti-British and anti-Jewish, the mufti was the key nationalist figure among Muslims in Palestine. Fearful that increased Jewish immigration to Palestine would damage Arab standing in the area, the mufti engineered the bloody riots against Jewish settlement in 1929 and 1936. Al-Husseini's appointment as mufti was itself the subject of much controversy. The decision to grant al-Husseini the position was made by Herbert Samuel, the first high commissioner of Palestine. It was odd that Samuel, a British Jew, would appoint a man who would be responsible for so much unrest within the Mandatory area. Al-Husseini in fact had been sentenced to ten years in prison by the British for inciting riots in 1920. None of that sentence was served, as al-Husseini had fled to Transjordan, and was soon after amnestied by Samuel himself. For his part, al-Husseini had used his influence to quiet additional disturbances in 1921. He assured Samuel that he would continue to maintain order, and it was with this understanding that the high commissioner granted him the position of mufti. In the following year, he was also appointed to lead the Supreme Muslim Council, expanding his already significant powers. Known later as the Grand Mufti, al-Husseini was able to establish himself as the preeminent Arab power in Palestine. One of the mufti's most successful projects was the restoration of the Dome of the Rock and the al-Aqsa mosque. With funds collected from India and various Arab states, the Dome was plated in gold. The impressive looks of the Dome greatly enhanced the status of Jerusalem in the eyes of Muslims throughout the world. Similarly, al-Husseini's own status as Mufti of Jerusalem increased his standing as an influential Arab leader. The mufti was dismissed from his position following the riots of 1936. No longer able to stay in Palestine, he continued his extremist activities from abroad. During World War II, the mufti was involved in the mobilization of support for Germany among Muslims. In November 1941 the Mufti met with Hitler.Although he continued to be involved in politics, al-Husseini's influence gradually declined after the defeat of the Arab armies in 1948.

This is the story of his life. This Web Page includes a copy of his last letter, written two days before he was killed, describing the riot in Jerusalem that had just occurred. Although there are several web sites containing reminiscences of survivors of the Hebron riot, this letter is unique in that it describes similar events as recorded by a victim of the riot. This Web Page also includes links to many other web sites containing both background and detailed information about the 1929 riot in Hebron. Of particular interest is the site maintained by the Jewish community of Hebron (http://www.hebron.org.il). 1. Life in the U.S. Benjamin Hurwitz was born on May 4, 1910 in New York City. He attended the Rabbi Jacob Joseph Yeshiva elementary school. One of the founders of this school had been his grandfather, Rabbi Moshe Eliezer Gavrin. For high school he attended the Talmudical Academy (now affiliated with Yeshiva University) with his religious studies taken in the Teachers Institute (TI). He was very active in school activities and in his senior year he was President of the Student's Organization (G.O.) and Business Editor of the school yearbook, The Elchanite. His father, Rabbi Yekusiel Raphael Hurwitz, who had learned in the Volozhin Yeshiva in Europe, was an ardent Zionist who spoke Hebrew with his children and had purchased an orange grove in Raanana through the land-purchasing organization Achooza Aleph. After graduation, Benjamin went to The Land of Israel (Eretz Yisroel) to continue his studies in Talmud. He was accompanied by his mother, Esther Hurwitz, and his two sisters, Deborah (later Rudman) and Leah (later Wachsman). They lived in the small town of Petach Tikvah, near Tel Aviv, because they had relatives there and it was close to the orange grove. 2. Life in Eretz Yisroel After studying with a cousin for a few months, Benjamin entered the Yeshiva in Hebron. This school of advanced Talmudical studies had been founded a few years earlier by world-renowned Rabbis from Europe. The Jewish population of Hebron had existed in that city for several hundred years and were on good, if not close, terms with their Arab neighbors. However, certain elements in the Moslem world, in particular the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem (during World War II he collaborated with Hitler), had been preaching against the Jews . There were a number of anti-Jewish riots that broke out from time to time during the early 1920's. However, the Summer of 1929 was to become the bloodiest period of all. The British were notoriously anti-Jewish and pro-Arab and did very little to stop the Arab riots, although they did eventually set up an investigatory commission. Major Events 1929-1938 (http://www.wzo.org.il/home/politic/chall.htm) The details of this period are described in many other locations and can be examined at your leisure. However, what is most interesting and poignant is the contents of the last letter written by Benjamin to his father. It was written only two days before he was murdered and describes his analysis of the situation which was getting more serious with each passing day. The week before the riot in Hebron an Arab had murdered a Jew in Jerusalem. Benjamin had been to Jerusalem and recorded his impressions, as well as his part in the preparations for his mother and sisters to return to the United States while he was to continue his studies in Hebron. The Jews of Hebron had no inkling of the tragedy that was to occur since they were on such " good terms " with their Arab neighbors.
